Mortals: Practice the Three Thousand Great Ways to Gain Eternal Life

Chapter 9 Mo Juren's Backhand
"Second sister, this... which old friend is this letter from?"

At this moment in the hall, except for Lin Shou, the messenger who was drinking tea calmly, the other ladies of the Mo family could no longer sit still, their beautiful faces and eyes staring at the letter in the hand of Second Madam Li with anticipation.

At this time, Second Madam Li also reacted. She took out a handkerchief with her delicate hands and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes without leaving a trace. Then, she stood up, bowed solemnly to Lin Shou and expressed her gratitude.

"My name is Li. On behalf of the sisters of the Mo family, I would like to thank Mr. Lin for taking the risk to bring my husband's letter!"

Before he finished speaking, the hall was in an uproar.

Even the ladies of the Mo family ignored their family etiquette and stood up with their plump, graceful bodies.

Especially the third wife, Mrs. Liu, who directly scolded her.

"That damn devil finally knew about the letter!"

The voice was charming and soft, which made people's hearts tremble, and they couldn't help but look at this beautiful woman a few more times.

"A letter from Daddy!"

At the same time, Mo Yuzhu, who had been peeking, could no longer suppress her longing for her father and ran out.

As soon as he came out, Lin Shou's eyes lit up.

White, delicate, beautiful, charming, and expensive!
The perfect interpretation of these five words stunned Lin Shoudu. He couldn't help but look at it a few more times before he came to his senses and took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment.

"Mr. Lin...Mr. Lin, I'm so sorry!"

When she saw Mo Yuzhu running out, Fourth Madam Yan looked embarrassed and quickly bowed and apologized.

"It's okay, I understand. Why don't you let the young lady take a look first?"

Lin Shou put down the teacup and took a look at Mo Yuzhu, whose cheeks were flushed and full of expectation, and said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, Mo Yuzhu's bright eyes showed some gratitude. She nodded slightly towards Lin Shou and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin."

Out of her daughter's modesty, Mo Yuzhu didn't look at Lin Shou for long, but she found him more and more pleasing to the eye.

At this time, Second Madam Li also handed the letter paper in her hand to Mo Yuzhu.

Mo Yuzhu bowed and said thank you before taking the letter and starting to read it.

At the same time, he opened his mouth slightly and read out what was in his mind slowly and in a soft and gentle voice.

For a moment, the only sound in the hall was the girl's soft, sweet and melodious voice.

It is really pleasing to the ears, and one can't help but look more at the girl's delicate and beautiful style.

At least that’s the case with Lin Shou, it’s a real treat for the eyes!
But the sound only lasted for a cup of tea before slowly ending.

At this time, several ladies of the Mo family also sat down again, looking at Lin Shou with gratitude on their pretty faces and eyes.

"The letter has been delivered, and my mission is accomplished. Ladies, Miss Yuzhu should have nothing else to do! Then I will take my leave first."

Seeing this, Lin Shou wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped.

"Mr. Lin, wait a moment. I wonder where your husband is now. Why did you come to deliver the letter in person? Is he okay now?"

The fourth lady, Mrs. Yan, tried to persuade him to stay and asked.

"If President Mo was fine now, he would have returned long ago. Why would he ask me to come and deliver the letter in person?"

Lin Shou shook his head and sighed softly.

"Then...how is Dad now? Where is he?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuzhu's heart, which was already hanging in the air, now rose to her throat and her face was filled with worry.

I was afraid that Lin Shou would say something even worse.

Especially that news!
"I promised President Mo that I cannot tell the ladies and three young ladies!"

Lin Shou shook his head again and refused.

"Why!"

The third wife, Mrs. Liu, could not help but slam the table and questioned in a cold voice.

Without waiting for Lin Shou to look, Second Madam Li glanced at him and said calmly, "Third sister, don't be rude!"

Hearing this, Third Madam Liu showed a somewhat reluctant expression on her face and bowed to Lin Shou to apologize.

"I am sorry for my impoliteness. I hope Master Lin will forgive me."

"It's okay. I understand. But the letter has been delivered, so I won't keep it any longer."

Lin Shou shook his head to show that he didn't care.

"How can this be possible? Young Master Lin has come all the way to visit our Mo Mansion. If we cannot treat him well, wouldn't it be laughed at by outsiders and show that our Mo Mansion is ignorant of etiquette? This will also affect the friendship and business dealings between our two families. After all, who in the entire Jiayuan City doesn't want to cooperate with the Lin family of Jingzhou now?"

Upon hearing this, Fourth Madam Yan hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.

"Fourth Lady is right. Mr. Lin, can you please stay for a few more days for my sake? I would also like to ask Mr. Lin for advice on martial arts."

Mo Yuzhu's voice was delicate and soft, and her face was full of pity and tenderness, pleading.

"This... in that case, I'm sorry to bother you."

Seeing this, Lin Shou hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Master Lin. I heard that you have amazing talent in martial arts. You must teach me a thing or two."

Mo Yuzhu smiled as bright as a flower and continued to request with joy.

"It's just a rumor, don't take it seriously."

Lin Shou smiled helplessly and shook his head to explain.

"Yuzhu, take Master Lin around the mansion first. My sister and I have something to discuss. Also, tell the servants to prepare a banquet. No matter what, we must entertain Master Lin well in the next few days."

Second Madam Li was rarely in charge, so she gave orders.

"Yes, Second Madam, Brother Lin, please come with me."

Mo Yuzhu naturally understood what Second Madam Li meant, and immediately invited her.

"Okay, trouble!"

Seeing this, Lin Shou naturally knew that there must be something wrong with the letter Mo Juren sent him, but he didn't care.

Anyway, he was not the person chosen by Mo Juren, and he also had business dealings with the Mo family, so there was no need to worry too much about his safety.

Afterwards, he and Mo Yuzhu left the hall.

After the two left, the fifth wife, Wang, who had been silent all the time, stood up, took out a ring from her bosom and handed it to the second wife, Li, and said.

"This is the dragon-patterned secondary ring that my husband gave to me. Second sister, please open it!"

"it is good."

Seeing this, the third wife Liu and the fourth wife Yan also took out a ring, exactly the same.

As for the second wife, Mrs. Li, she naturally also had one in her hand, and she took it out as well.

At this time, the fourth wife, Yan, brought a cup of tea and handed it to the second wife, Li.

Upon seeing this, Li twisted the four dragon-patterned rings one by one a few times, and then all four rings were twisted in half, revealing hidden white medicine powder inside.

After pouring the white powder into the teacup, he gently shook it.
Not long after, a strange scene appeared. The colorful tea in the cup suddenly became clear and transparent when it was gently shaken.

"The revealing water has been prepared. Let me take care of the letter!"

Second Madam Li spoke.

"Of course. Second sister is the most careful and meticulous. It would be best for me to leave this matter to you."

The fourth wife, Mrs. Yan, and the other two wives had no objections.

Afterwards, Second Madam Li carefully and patiently took out the letter and began to paint it.

Soon, the fonts hidden in it appeared one by one.
